Why would a Calgary business hire an Edmonton studio?
Because you can read our prices before the first call, the quote stays fixed, and one partner covers the website, the software and the automation between them. Glasshead Tech is based in Edmonton, not Calgary, and we say so plainly. For most projects the distance matters less than a supplier being clear about cost and scope.
Almost every stage already happens on a screen. Discovery sessions, design reviews and acceptance testing run over video, and you click through working builds in your own browser. When an in-person workshop would genuinely help, we agree the visit and add it to the quote. If a Calgary-based team would suit you better, we will tell you.

What AI automation suits a Calgary office?
The best first candidates are repetitive reading and writing: pulling fields from invoices or field tickets, drafting first replies to enquiries, summarising long reports and routing documents to the right person. Each AI automation workflow starts from $3,500 and takes 2–6 weeks, and a person approves anything customer-facing or financial by default.
The AI models behind these workflows belong to third-party providers, and part of that processing may take place outside Canada. For each step we name the provider and its region, strip personal information from prompts wherever we can, choose settings so your business data is not used to train public models where the provider offers that control, and document what each step can see. PIPA still applies to any personal information involved, and our summary of it is general guidance, not legal advice.
Software for energy service firms and the offices behind them
As the energy and head-office centre of Alberta, Calgary depends on service companies, contractors and consultants that pass paperwork between field and office. We build the quoting, ticketing, approval and reporting tools that sit in that gap, as custom software priced $18,000 – $50,000 over 8–16 weeks.
Our pages on oilfield services software and technology for professional services firms cover those sectors in detail. Whatever you commission, the source code, data and logins belong to your company, and handover notes are written for whoever looks after the system next.
